  • Vocabulary: What do you call power hungry people that abuse their power?

    Looking for words here.

    For example: A cop that abuses their power to bother others because they are pathetic, not because the person did something wrong.

    Or people that strive to become managers just so they can bother their workers.

    Or a college professor that becomes a professor to teach his/her political ideas.

    Basically the type of person that strives to get power so they can have things their way, bother/bully others, or push their ideas onto others indirectly. The person is seen as pathetic and weak. Basically gets power for wrong/bad reasons.

    Are there any words that describe somebody like this exactly? I've been looking around and haven't found much.

  • Dreams about a girl that I don't like.. Whats the deal with that?

    So basically there was a girl that went to my middle school and high school.. I've known her as in I've seen her walking around and maybe had a class with her. We've never really talked or communicated in any way. Shes just a random person to me.

    I've never thought really liked her in a emotional way... Not to say that I disliked her.. I was just neutral about it.

    Now the strange thing is that I've not seen her in about a year or more.. But every once in a while I have these dreams that shes in. Normally they are silly or something, however... In the dreams I always like this particular girl. But in real life I never really cared for her.

    Don't people normally have dreams about people they like? Whats going on here?

    And no don't say "you secretly liked her but never knew.." because I'm pretty sure I'd know heh..

    Oh and these dreams have been happening alot over the past year... Maybe like once a month or two.. other dreams are random other stuff... this one keeps reoccurring.. some kinda voodoo **** going down or something? halp.

  • Should I leave my lens on my DSLR camera in it's carrying bag?

    So I just got a DSLR camera...

    A canon T1i.. and I was wondering.. is it ok to leave it in the carrying case with it's lens on or off? They all have covers for each end and I was thinking it would be better if i just left it on and modified my bag to fit it. (It has the ability to be custom shaped)

    Thanks for the help, I'd rather get an answer from a pro enthusiast or photographer. Thanks.

  • Can you receive a refund from a theater because of a horrible movie?

    I was watching the movie "gamer" a while ago.. and it was the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life. I left the theater after 20 minutes of it. I was wondering if I asked the theater for a refund.. would they have given it to me? I've heard stories of other people doing that, I wanted to know if that is true.

    Is it part of their policy? Or are they just being nice?

  • When people get laser eye surgery... why don't they get 20/15 eye sight instead?

    I hear that people get 20/20 vision.

    Which is good. But I recently heard that tiger woods got 20/15 eyesight to help him with his playing.

    So why don't other people do the same thing? If it makes their eyesight great ... then why not? What is the reason?
